all in one

At first we thought, "what we really need is a piece of tarp and an old camping backpack." after trying this bag out, what we realized is how great it is to stuff everything into one bag and be ready to climb in two seconds. This bag holds our rope, two harnesses, all the gear, two sets of shoes, water bottles, etc. It's not huge, but fits everything well and has easy access through the front loading zipper. Also, the pocket in the top keeps our keys, wallets and wedding rings organized. Totally happy with this buy. |

looking to rip in the crud
07-22-08 ![]() |
i am an expert, small skier. i bought these for my AT set up. i was hesitant about the 165's because I am small but i can handle the ski no problem. Wanted something that would bomb down groomers in the resort and then rip through crud and float on pow. They are fast and furious. not as floaty as my k2 phat loves in straight uncut powder but they make up for it in choppy stuff and getting around trees. they are super fun. I love them. |

I am new to backcountry skiing and these skins are easy to get on and off, not too bulky and grip really well. Highly recommend them. |

from skeptical to sold

At first I thought this watch (the red which is more like a dark dark pink) looked ridiculous on me. I am a small girl and the watch face is rather large. I gave it a try anyway. Had it programmed in 4 minutes, it tracks heart rate percentage and lets you know when you've reached the targets you set, tells you calorie use, and can do multiple time laps. After a few uses I have fallen in love with the functionality. The quirky look has grown on me. My husband has a suunto too and when we hike or run together our watches are able to keep our heart rates separate. I was really concerned about this and know it can be a problem. The only time we had trouble was when we were sitting in the car together. I also love that I didn't spend a fortune! |

you need this jacket!

The best piece of clothing I own. It's warm, doesn't make you look like a marshmallow and fits perfectly. I wear it out on the town and hiking, biking and backcountry skiing. The hood is large and doesn't stay on in wind. Extra bonus - my dog's hair (which has destroyed my other fleeces) doesn't seem to stick much on this one. |

no belly shirt here

Finally, a cool shirt that hits low enough that you can actually do stuff in it without exposing your midriff to the world. This shirt is comfy, soft, and long enough so you don't look like a teeny bopper. |

the best

embarrassingly enough, I actually wore these pants every day from the day I got them to the day they were so crusty I had to peel them off (about 6 days later). They are amazing. Feels like you're wearing your pjs. Go straight from hiking with the dog to running errands to climbing to the restaurant. Do go smaller rather than larger. I am 5 foot 2 and they hit me in just the right place just below the knee. love these! |

Do I Need To Own Another Bra??

I was skeptical when purchasing this bra. I wanted a sports bra that was not as bulky and funny looking as my others. I hit the jackpot! I love wearing this bra for climbing, biking and also going out. It is super comfy. It does hold you in really tight. |

super shoe
09-09-07 ![]() |
I have really bad knees and hate having to come down the trail. These shoes are really comfortable and make the downslope almost tolerable. They are really grippy on loose stuff. I love the lace system. I do need to wear at least ankle-length socks because the stiff tongue gives me a blister on the front of my leg. |

lightweight, not too clingy, good!

Although teal is not my most flattering color choice, I am very happy with this shirt. It is lightweight and not clingy but also not baggy. I can wear it bouldering without giving a show to those down below. I am very pleased with my purchase. I might even buy another in a less wacky color. |
